I have absolutely nothing to say on this.

 

[Listlad]

Bloat no. Constipation yes. But I take flax (budgie) seed to counter it.

I will say it's behind a pay wall so cannot read it fully...

That world famous Kellogg laboratory.

Gosh.

I wonder what possible motivation they might have for discrediting low carbing?

“According to the good scientists at the famous Kellogg’s laboratory....” no need to read any further, nothing like biased journalism

Wondering if Kelloggs have noticed a drop in profits?

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Oddly, my wife has complained (More coyly owned up.) of these symptoms (In the link.) & narrowed it down after eating eating cereal with milk at work in the mornings.. (It's a "thing" they have at her place of work offering cereal or fruit daily for gratis.?)
She now gives it a miss. Non D. No horse in this "race."
Edit; no more issues.

Mr Kellogg is welcome to his constipation. May it stay unpassed forever !!

I wanted to add that since going lower carb higher fat, I have experienced constipation to a level I have not personally encountered in a lifetime. No exaggeration. The flax seed does help. But to get some context here, the blocking of our loo is an every day occurrence just now (to avoid the graphic detail) and it is down to the dietary change.

Don’t get me wrong, for me it is a price worth paying but I can see how it might be seen as a negative for some people.

the blocking of ourcloo

Then you certainly don't have constipation?

 

[Listlad]

Only just though. I was hoping to avoid the graphic detail here...you understand.

Constipation:

a condition in which there is difficulty in emptying the bowels, usually associated with hardened faeces.

• a high level of constraint or restriction
  
  
  

That’s what I have as a consequence of a lower carb higher fat diet. Have you ever tried pushing a stick around a tight bend?

I totally am in favour of a lower carb higher fat approach but it is aswell to be upfront and honest about any issues.

I understand where you are coming from but sometimes there is a slight myth about constipation which is not in fact correct.
More that when we change our diets to more nutritious food there is less waste to come out.
When I did my beef only January this year i didn't "go" for 10 days.. not because I was constipated but because there was so little waste from eating only beef. I was amazed about how much didn't come out after eating large steaks every day.
TMI perhaps but I feel it's a very necessary thing to have out in the open. Many thnk that they are constipated when in fact its just a case of less cr*p in less cr*p out.

@Listlad are you drinking enough water? That’s the usual suspect for me if I get a bit clogged up, which doesn’t happen very often at all, despite my minimal fibre intake. In fact often get more clogged if I up fibre.

Oh no. There is plenty coming out. Just agony getting it out. Like I say it is something I have never had in my past and only heard about from others. To reiterate, the flax seed helps. Maybe I need to double up on flax seed.

I do. I am sure I drink enough.

I eat less fruit now though. I used to eat loads of dried fruit, prunes, figs, dates etc but have stopped that now.

I guess you are watching the football now.

Maybe I need to take some diabetic chocolate or sweets as per this thread?

Milk of magnesia or magnesium tabs plus plenty of water
